remote-mcp SKILL.md skillB

remote-mcp from garrytan/gbrain is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/remote-mcp@git:20261007.590bb9a

Pins git:20261007.590bb9a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Publish the user's own gbrain over MCP so other devices, desktop apps and cloud agents can reach it. `gbrain mcp expose` installs and signs in Tailscale, publishes the running `gbrain serve --http` on the tailnet (HTTPS, tailnet-only by default; Funnel only when a client lives in a vendor cloud), keeps the server alive as a user service, and hands back the MCP URL. Then register one least-privilege client per consumer, choose native OAuth/PKCE or a private machine handoff for that client, and…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Remote MCP — use your brain from anywhere

> The brain already runs on the user's computer. This skill makes it reachable
> over MCP from their other devices and from the agents they use elsewhere,
> without moving the data and without putting a database on the public
> internet. Tailscale is the default transport; publishing is one command,
> access is one scoped grant per client.

## Contract

This skill guarantees:
- **Tailscale by default.** `gbrain mcp expose` publishes the local server
  with `tailscale serve` (HTTPS on the tailnet, nothing public). ngrok and
  cloud hosts stay documented alternatives, never the first suggestion.
- **Funnel is explicit.** Cloud agents whose runtime is not on the tailnet
  (Grok Bot, Muse, ChatGPT, Claude.ai / Cowork, Perplexity) need
  `--funnel`, which makes the same `*.ts.net` name publicly reachable. Say
  so before running it; the endpoint is then protected by gbrain's OAuth /
  bearer auth and scoped grants, not by the network.
- **Consent before system changes.** Installing Tailscale, running
  `tailscale up`, writing a serve/funnel config and creating a user service
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/remote-mcp@sha256:fce4a7c6dcf1bf11

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.590bb9a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
